Hospital implements Two students dead over weekend new patient care plan
VICTORIA MEKUS
vlmekus@go.olemiss.edu
Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi will implement a new document management system called Epic Care on Dec. 1. Epic Care, which stores patient records electronically, is intended to make it easier for physicians and medical staff to transfer documents with the click of a button. The switch to an electronic system is the direct product of a charter within an Affordable Care Act initiative. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services will penalize hospitals that have not switched to the electronic system by a designated date.
Out of all Stage 7 medical systems in the United States, 69 percent of hospitals and 90 percent of clinics within the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society are now using the system, according to Epic Care. All hospitals within the Baptist Memorial Healthcare system are making the switch to Epic Care, calling their strain OneCare. “Patient safety is at the forefront of our minds in everything we do,” said Sonia McKeithen, assistant administrator for the hospital. “The establishment of electronic medical records will greatly reduce the time it takes for our doctors to see patients

Luke Cameron Phillips, 19, a student at The University of Mississippi and Grant Thomas Womack, 22, a former student at The University of Mississippi both died this past weekend.
Luke Phillips
WTVA News in Tupelo reported that, according to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, Phillips was traveling Friday night eastward in the westbound lanes of Highway 278 when his Nissan struck a Mazda minivan. Highway patrol pronounced Phillips dead at the scene around 11 p.m. on Highway 6 in Pontotoc County. Phillips was a freshman accountancy major from Olive Branch, Mississippi. The university confirmed that Womack died Sunday at Baptist Memorial Hospital. He was last enrolled in spring of 2014 seeking a B.B.A. in real estate through the School of Business Administration. Womack was a member of Kappa Alpha Order. Kappa Alpha Order expressed their grief about
Womack’s death in a tweet earlier this week. “Our most heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Grant Womack. You will be truly missed by us, brother.”

continued from page 1 and get them the medication and attention that they need.” According to McKeithen, the hospital has employees called super users who have gone through 20 or more hours of extensive training for the new system. Every department aims to have at least one super user present for every shift. Each employee at Baptist, clinical and non-clinical, has to go through basic training for the system. “We had 70 directors and managers that have gone away to be trained to help the physicians. Our hospital alone has right at 150 super users, which is incredibly impressive,” McKeithen said. The hospital is also training medical offices throughout Lafayette County and surrounding serviced areas, making all forms visible to clinicians without having to transfer information. Doctors will now be able to enter prescriptions directly into the system, making them readily available at pharmacies at the press of one button. Emery Newsom, physician relations coordinator at the hospital, said she is signing area clinics up for a webbased portal that can be used to access patients’ records at the hospital. “We have been diligently communicating with representatives to make sure that they have everything they need for when the system goes live,” Newsom said. “During times of change, such as this, my role has become

enhanced as a resource to ensure that this transition goes as smoothly as possible.” Baptist Memorial Hospital is in the third wave of launching the system. Previous hospitals that have already started using the system include the Baptist Memorial Hospitals in Memphis, Collierville, Desoto, Tipton and Northeast Arkansas-Jonesboro. Jondi Roberson, director of marketing and provider relations, is in charge of bringing the system to the public. “We will have billboards, ads, elevator scans and anything you can think of to try to educate everyone about the program and get them to sign-up. Through physician-patient campaigns and various methods, our goal is to mostly bring awareness to the people that we service,” Roberson said. The hospital will have designated staff members at admission and discharge, as well as throughout the hospital, educating patients and their families about the new system. Until August 2015, there will be an insert included in every bill or statement mailed out, according to Roberson. “We are going to see patients either way,” McKeithen said. “However, the new system allows doctors to see more patients, spend more time in surgery and provide more efficient care to patients because it cuts down the time

sey Burnett. Burnett also won a $100 scholarship for Most Support Ads Sold. The second alternate and winner of $500 scholarship was Ivey Swan. Swan also received a $100 scholarship for the Evening Gown portion. Katri Gilbert, who performed “Gypsy Airs” on the violin, was the winner of a $100 scholarship for talent. Murray gave the welcome address, and Higginbotham helped introduce the judges. Among the evening’s judges were Dennis Horn, graduate of Mississippi State University and veteran pageant judge within both the Miss America and Miss USA systems. Also judging was Pam Mayfield, an Ole Miss alumna and owner of a clothing store, who has dressed 22 past Miss Mississippi winners, two of whom went on to become Miss America. First was the evening gown competition, which Murray described as being based on the contestants’ “charm, presence and personality.” During the evening gown portion, the contestants were also asked an onstage question related to their platforms or their individual beliefs. In the interval between the evening gown and lifestyle and fitness swimsuit competition, Chris Coffin took the stage with his acoustic guitar to perform an original country courtship ballad called “If You Let Me.” During the lifestyle and fitness competition, the ladies were judged on the basis of “how well the contestants maintain a lifestyle of good physical health,” Murray said. As the contestants walked, the emcees introduced them, listing their majors, classifications and platforms. Contestants ranged from freshmen to graduate students. Following the swimsuit competition, the Hinge Dance Company provided entertainment in the form of a lyrical number in greyscale called “Distorted.” The final leg of the competition was the much-anticipated talent portion. Performances were short but incredibly varied. While the judges voted and the votes were counted by the auditors, performances were given by both Murray and Higginbotham, who sang “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” and “Con Te Partiro/Time to Say Goodbye,” respectively. Before the results were announced by Murray, Higginbotham gave her farewell address via slideshow. She thanked the university, her sponsors, her family and her friends for their support in her Miss University and Miss Mississippi experience. She challenged the new Miss University to use her reign to her advantage and to enjoy the adventure ahead.

Another Oxford-born band is coming back to town and bringing a sound you might not find anywhere else. Playing at Proud Larry’s tonight is the garage-rock band, Bass Drum of Death, featuring Oxford’s own John Barrett as lead vocalist. Bass Drum of Death was originally formed by Barrett, but over time has grown to include Len Clark and Josh Hunter, giving the band a grand total of two guitarists and a drummer. Barrett said the band is excited to be back in Oxford. “We haven’t played in Oxford in about a year, so we are looking forward to it,” Barrett said. As a fan of the Rebels, Barrett has been following the football team all season and hopes he can catch a game while in the area. “I’ve had to mainly watch on my
Rock en Seine Festival in France. However, Bass Drum of Death is really a band that tries to stay straight-forward rock ’n’ roll. Their most recent album, “Rip This,” is true to the band’s signature garage-rock sound. Sophomore photography major Olivia Kelly is a fan of the band and said she is looking forward to hearing Bass Drum of Death perform live. “I am excited to see Bass Drum of Death play,” Kelly said. “I’ve heard their shows are a lot of fun, and I recently got introduced to their music. I think the concert should be a lot of fun.” Kelly said she was introduced to the band by a friend shortly before she heard they would be performing in town. Once she became aware of the concert at Proud Larry’s, she made sure to purchase a ticket in advance. “Me and a few friends want to go,” Kelly said. “Listening to bands play on the Square is so much fun, and it’s really cool how Bass Drum of Death is originally from Oxford.” Concertgoers can expect to hear music from the new album preformed tonight at Proud Larry’s. “Rip This” is the first album Bass Drum of Death was able to record in a proper studio, so the sound is a bit cleaner production-wise, according to Barrett. However, the songwriting and arrangements stay true to the work of Bass Drum of Death in the past. “We just spent more time and money making this one than the first two,” Barrett said. Owner of Proud Larry’s, Scott Caradine, said the band has played at the venue several times in the past and believes tonight’s performance will be one of the best yet. “We’re really looking forward to the rock show,” Caradine said.

phone all tour, which is annoying,” Barrett said. Bass Drum of Death has been around since 2008 and is finishing up their second tour this fall. The band did a southeastern tour in September and is currently at the end of a Midwest/West Coast run, Barrett said. Just recently the band performed in Los Angeles at The Echo and in San Francisco at The Great American Music Hall. “It’s been a whirlwind,” Barrett said. “We’ve broken it up well enough to where it’s been nice and chill.” The band has gained popularity over the past few years and even preformed on Mellowhype with rap group Odd Future in 2011. Some of Bass Drum of Death’s other work has been featured in H&M advertisements, in films like Ghost Rider and popular TV shows such as The Vampire Diaries. The band has also been popular overseas, preforming at the

Walton earning more LSU hands UM first home loss reps and carries OLE MISS SPORTS INFORMATION
DYLAN RUBINO
bkashfor@go.olemiss.edu
The Ole Miss offense has struggled at times to feature a solid running game this season, relying more on the passing game to win. The Rebels’s ground game averages 151.3 rushing yards per game, which is good for 84th in the country. Head coach Hugh Freeze mentioned at the beginning of the season that the ground game would feature running backs by committee, but junior tailback Jaylen Walton has established himself as the top back as of late. Walton rushed for 60 yards on 10 carries with one touchdown Saturday in the win over Tennessee. Walton is the leading rusher on the team with 347 yards on the ground for the season and 161 more yards than his junior counterpart I’Tavius Mathers. Even with his success over the season, Walton isn’t concerned with taking over the starting spot full time. “I just try and take advantages of my opportunities that I’m given,” Walton said. “I don’t look at the depth chart or anything. I take every opportunity that the coaches want me to do, if it’s running, catching or special teams. I’ll take it to the best of my opportunities.” Walton has improved his game since the beginning of the season. He struggled against Boise State, running for -3 yards on just four carries. Walton has picked it up since then and has had the most carries since that game. “It’s pretty much been the whole deal. Running, passing, blocking, running routes out of the backfield, getting handoffs from the quarterback,” Walton
said. “It’s just trying to stay on the field as long as possible.” Improving more as an in-between-the-tackles runner instead of relying on rushing to the outside has also helped him improve. “In this league, the edge isn’t going to be there, all of the time,” Walton said. “You got to grind your way throughout the middle and go in between blocks. It’s what I worked on all summer.” Taking big hits and protecting yourself is something a running back has to look out for when going in between the tackles. Walton took notice of that. “Pad level is key in being lower than the defender,” Walton said. “All of us take shots. To last long and staying at a good pad level definitely helps.” The offense as a whole has taken a more conservative approach as of lately, riding the coattails of the defense and letting their play set the tone for the game. The conservative game plan seemed to start against Alabama, and it’s worked since then. Walton likes the conservative approach on offense and thinks it helps open up holes for big plays. “The way our offense puts up points, we’ll get mismatches with the linebacker and get a one-on-one situation with our better receivers,” Walton said. “We’re definitely looking to score after that.” Being more aggressive earlier on in the game has slowed the production on offense to start games. There seems to be no pressure as a result of that. “We all just stay focused and try to respect the game plan,” Walton said. “I don’t think there is much pressure for us if we don’t make a play. If we miss one play, we have plenty more.”

A great crowd of 874, a nationally-televised audience, an undefeated record at home and riding a three-match win streak, everything was set up for the Ole Miss Volleyball team against LSU. The Tigers had other plans, handing the Rebels their first home loss, 3-0, here at the Gillom Sports Center Wednesday night. Sophomore Melanie Crow recorded 13 kills and freshman Lexi Thompson notched 10, but the Rebels were unable to set up junior middle blocker Nakeyta Clair as often as they would have preferred.

As a team, the Rebels hit just .198, falling to 0-4 in the SEC when hitting below .200. “Sometimes our first ball contact hurt us with being able to stay aggressive offensively,” head coach Steven McRoberts said. “Early on we weren’t able to get Nakeyta involved as much as we would have liked. We have to give credit to LSU, they played really well, and we didn’t do a good job of matching their intensity.” LSU came out firing in the first set, but the Rebels hung around to take a 15-13 lead into the media timeout.

Freeze talks injuries and preparations for LSU matchup CODY THOMASON

The Ole Miss Rebels are facing a tough challenge this week against 24th-ranked LSU in famed Death Valley, but when head coach Hugh Freeze spoke to the media Wednesday, the first thing he addressed was how the members of his team were doing outside of football. “It was a good day. I like the way the kids are going about their business, particularly off the field,” Freeze said. “I like on the field too but I really like some of the accountability that they’re showing. I think it’s come miles in a couple years, and the leadership of our team I think gets it.” Freeze soon got back to talking about the upcoming game and gave an update on injured center Ben Still. “I just don’t know exactly how he’ll be Saturday,” Freeze said. “The good thing is he
knows everything, he doesn’t have to get reps, but if he can go he certainly will.” Freeze also talked about the possibility of Robert Conyers having to start in place of Still at center, and how junior center Craig Frigo had performed in practice. “It just lessens our depth at other places, but he had a really good game against Tennessee,” Freeze said. “He’s very athletic, maybe not as strong and not as much mass as Ben (Still) for some certain blocks, but did really well, and the snaps were really good and they’ve been good this week. So have Frigo’s. Frigo will fight you too; he’s a tough kid.” Freeze spoke about how the team’s recent performance and national attention has affected his recruiting as well. “The last two weeks have picked up quite a bit with kids that we weren’t sure if we were in the game or not nationally, and of course the kids we’ve

and the way our coverage on punts has done, and he’s just placing the ball in different places,” Freeze said. “That allowed us to be very patient at times offensively.” Special teams coordinator and linebacker coach Tom Allen was also impressed with Gleeson’s performance thus far. “He’s been super,” Allen said. “Once he got that first game under his belt he’s kind of taken off, so we’re proud of him.“ Allen also addressed the team’s kicking situation, and talked about what was behind freshman kicker Gary Wunderlich’s improvement over the season. “I just think its just experience. We’ve always felt like he was talented,” Allen said. “He’s got more comfortable each and every week, and I think that his talent is kind of showing through. We’re really pleased with him and I think that the more he kicks the better he’ll get.”
